Allure Exclusive: How to Apply Liquid Eyeliner with Jillian Dempsey

"Liquid liner is totally easy, fun to use, and always looks supergood!" said no one, ever. Except, maybe, for Jillian Dempsey, who's been a professional makeup artist for more than 20 years and spent enough time in Paris in the early '90s to know her way around a sultry cat eye. "Liquid liner is one of those products that women are attracted to, but they fear a crooked line," said Dempsey. "I wanted to simplify the application because it's a look that a lot of women can have fun with, and that is universally flattering and classic." Check out the video above, in which she shows us the easiest trick I have ever seen for applying liquid liner. (And you can check out a few more of her video tutorials here.)
